THEATRICAL
Miss clara Morris Appears In
Hence.

Miss Clara Morris Appears IN
Another good house greeted Miss Nor
ris last night on the occasion OF the pres
entation Of Clinton Stuart's adaptation
| from the French of Renee. 1t is piece
constructed entirely in the line of the
dramatic idiosyncrasies of Mics Clara
Morris. It is emotional, sensational and
replete with striking and affecting scenes.
| II is Camille with different motif,
and with Q higher order of heroic
treatment. The story is that OF q
daughter nobly married, whose mother
had committed faurpas in her youth,
the result of which was a son. After
the daughters marriage she becomes
aware of her mothers error through the
son. who, having grown to manhood,
and knowing the secret of his birth,
turns it to blackmail account. But
after becoming acquainted with bis half
sister, his manhood asserts itself, and in
an interview with her he throws the
compromising letters touching his moth
er's fault into the fire and embraces his
sister just as her husband, whose jeal-
ousy has been aroused, enters upon the
scene and witnesses, as he supposes, an
evidence of his wife's perfidy and the
destruction of the letters that would
have proved it beyond question. In
his fury he shoots the brother dead.
The daughter. "Renee," finds herself in
the terrible position of either being COM
PEELED to vindicate her virtue by expos
ing the sin of her mother, or of letting
the appearances against herself 60 as the
truth. Thus she sacrifices her own
honor to save that of her mother. The
husband divorces her aud the law gives
him the control of their only child. In
the course of time the discarded woman
seeks the house of her parents and has
very affecting interview with her
father in which she throws herself at
his feet and asks for his pardon. He at
fir.t refuses to receive her, but the
mother intercedes and the pardon is
finally granted. "Renes" then has an
accidental meeting with her husband,
who still loves his discarded wife, and Is
forced to admit it. 1t the meantime he
has been married to an adventures, and
as the play progresses the truth Is
drawn out, and Renee and her husband
became reconciled. twill be seen from
this hasty sketch of the plot. that the
piece is one in which Miss Morris can
give full play to her emotional powers.
That she gives the character strong
presentation is evidenced by the fact that
she had most of her audience deeply
moved during the progress of the piece.
Some of the scenes are very dramatic,
and became intensely so under the
lady's realistic treatment. 1t is, how
ever, the genius of Miss Morris alone
that saves the piece, for it is weak in
construction where it should be strong,
aud lacks perspicuousness and artistic
connection where it should be clear and
natural in its sequences.

A strawberry Exhibttion-The Pre-

Correspondence OF tho h'chhohu btsPsOnj
OyaScoCx. May 30, 1887.
The Accomack truckers had strawberry
exhibition here Saturduy-the first ever
held ON inc Eastern Shore OF Virginia. The
d,spIay was creditable both In extent and
quality, and showed that this section Is pc
cuIiariy adapted TO the growth OF this crop.
The first premium was awarded to George
" McMath for the best general exhibit;
and the second premium, for the best Va
riey exhibited (the Sharpless), to john W..
Corbin.
Prfmiums for the best specimens OF any
variety were awarded TO George w. Nc
Natb for the best Bidwell, Glendale, Big
Rob. Iron. cad, and Jersey Queen varie-
ties: 10 Peter W. East for the best Crescent
seeding. Wilson, and Monarch OF the
west; TO Edward l.. East for the best Ac-
'comack seeding and MAY King, and to
Henry Battaile, w. y. Pitts, Joseph g..
Savage, and George W. McMath for supe'
rior Sbarpless.
1t Is the purpose OF the association to
have the exhibition on larger scale next
year, and 10 extend IL so as TO include other
early products. The suitable soil and cli-
mate, together with fine shipping facilities,
must soon make this part OF Virginia the
finest garden for the great cities OF the At
lantIc seabOard.
Cbildren's Day was appropriately cele-
brated In the Southern Methodist church
OF Onancock yesterday. The interior OF
the edI6ce was tastefuily adorned with
flowers and eyergreens, and the exercises
consisted Of singing and appropriate recita-
lions by the csildren OF the Sunday school
and an address by the pastor OF the church.
The recent election In Accomack discloses
the fact that the Republicans RETAINED from
voting except 10 the lower district, where
The two parties are about evenly divided.
There the Republicans succeeded in elect
ing their candidates. Ii is thought, how

Emancipation was only changing the
ownership OF the slave from the white man
TO the black. As a matter OF fact, it was
not "a loss" to ''the South" though it was
a loss TO the former owner C0urier-JCur.
nal.
We have preached this doctrine for a
good many years. The theory seems to be
unassailable. And yet, although the owner
Of a hundred slaves could borrow hun
bred thousand dollars on them, and thus
enrich his lands. increase his crops, and
spread contentment and happiness all
around him, "the South" couldn't to-day
borrow that much money on the whole
seven millions Of negroes OF whom she is
now the owner.
